20 years of Darwin: Kelly swoops

Brothers Rick and Todd Kelly put together four straight wins at Hidden Valley in the mid-2000s when they were stablemates in Clayton-prepared Commodores.

The purple patch saw consecutive round wins for Todd Kelly in 2004 and 2005, the latter while featuring a 50 round wins bonnet celebrating the HRT’s milestone achieved in China.

Rick’s most memorable moment, however, came while racing for the Kelly’s own team in 2011 – scoring an unlikely win from 12th on the grid.

Sitting fifth at a late restart, Kelly swooped as leaders Jamie Whincup, Mark Winterbottom, Shane van Gisbergen and Lee Holdsworth engaged in a four-wide Turn 1 squeeze.

Flashback to the wild 2011 restart and the run of Kelly victories as part of our video series celebrating 20 years of Supercars racing in the Northern Territory.
